WEEKLY REPORT.
GENERAL RENARKs-There were no new de-
valonments in the general market. and the week
,,rder review has been practically an uneventful
,,re The depression in most of the staple
articles continues, but the impression prevails
that bottom has been touched as in some
oF the most prominent there was a
sliqht reaction in values. Trading continues fair
hut large lines are hard to move; this is particu-
larlv noticeable in the jobbng trades. Interior
huvers nave about fully stocked up, and most
orders now coming to hand are for small re-
assortments. There seems to be general dis
nosition on the part of buyers not to
take more than enough for current
necessities as the course of the cotton
movement while extraordinarily large, is
rather uncertain, and gives considerable un-
easiness, owing to the prevailing impression of
a short crop and short season. Collections
are fair The money market is comfortably
easy Exchange is firm for sterling, while do
nestle is easy. In the security market there is
a fairly active business, with hardening ten
dency to values Central railroad stock and de
Ventures are higher In groceries
and provisions apart from the usual steady bus
mess at this season there is special activity.
Dry goods, there is little or no inquiry In all
other branches there is barely fair business in
progress. The following resume of the week s
iusness will show the tone and latest closing
quotations of the different markets at the clos
ing hour to-day:

One of the pleasing features of the land

which greeted the eye during the whole win

four to six, frequently sever, fine, large
sleek mules, with cropped names and shaved
and square cut tails; the harness new, strong
and made ornamental with deep leather

surmomted by pyramids of clear ringing
bells On the leaders, and frequently on every
mule in the team The driver was almost

done away-aIl that belonged essentially to
to the days of slavery. The cotton comes 10

About a Dog.

An engineer on the Rock Island railroad
tells this story: While running along
by Joliet saw fine black dog stuck fast
under an old farm gate by the side of the
track. He was bowling piteously and |
stopped my engine and went to his
assistance. He was wild with gratitude,
licked my hand and wanted to follow me
into the cab. Every day after that
would see him sitting beside the track
wagging his tail as my train went by,
Several weeks later the train as running
at great speed, being behind time, just at
daybreak. The dog stood on the track
ahead barking furiously. As We drew
near he moved ahead, but continued his
antics. | supposed, Of course, that he
would leave the track, but he did not, and
the train ran over him and ground him TO
pieces. We stopped the train and were
astOnished at finding short distance
ahead an obstruction on the tack that
would surely have derailed the train had
we struck it at full speed"

If Mr.. Henry Lakes information be indeed
correct, the year of grace 1887 will be known
forever as that of the rediscovery of the lost

Bill Nyc, the western humorist, was in the
city the other day. He is tall, lank, smooth
faced, bald headed sinner who wears glasses
and is as mild and peasautfis a shepherd dog.
He began his career as a writer in Wyoming,
where he was first heard of as the editor, pro
prietor and manager of paper called The
Boomerang. He had first tried his hand at
mining, and III the course of his experience
became possessed of mule which he called
Boomerang. When he dropped into journal
ISL he honored his faithful, long cared part
ner by comforting his name on the paper. At
least thst's what Bill says. By the way, his
name is not Bill, but Edgar W. Nye, and h.
is one of the most domestic men in the coun-
try. He is particularly fond of his babies,
and, like all hunorists, is as full of pathos az
woman. But lie can tell dialect story as
well as any man on this revolving footstool.-

Perhaps the largest, best arranged, hest
furnished and most costly cyclone pit in the
country is owned by Ed Brown, of Eatonton
1t is situated near the back door OF his residence
and is large enough to accommodate his en-
tire family. The walls are of brick, laid in
cement, the floor is carpetei, has a fireplace
and chimney and the room is handsomely
furnished The family could spend the night
there with as much comfort as in the dwell
ing. In preparing it Mr.. Brown had an eve
10 its perInanency and spared no expense IN
making 1t pleasant and comfortable. To
guard against the contingency of the house
blowing over on it and imprisoning the in
mates large sewer pipe leads off from the
pit i'll an opposite direction distance of 100
wards, through which the family could es-
cape. This unique underground dwelling is
thoroughly projected against water rising
from below or running in from above. The
cost Is over $500.

IN Davenport the other morning and

You know those Boston directors are
smart. They send out patches of Har-
ward graduates to fill clerkships and
agencies oil the road-and lots of them do
little more than draw their salaries. Men
of experience in railroad work have been
removed to make room for pets of the
Boston directors. Tom Potter will put
stop to that kind of work. He will have
no drones in sinecures about him. These
fellows will have to work or walk. There
are more than fifty of them employed on

LOCAL BALL LEAGUE.

A 1,ri-City Association Talked off,
A Good Scheme Rock Island Play
ers--- Plans Discussed - Diamond
Gossip.
For some time the feasibility of tri>
city ball league has been discussed with
more or less favor, and as the subject is
agitated the prospects for such an ar
rangement grow brighter. and the scheme
receives more countenance The idea is
not TO make money by the arrangement,
but simply to make it self sustaining, and
afford amusement and sport by revivlng
base ball in the three cities.
Rock Island has ample material for a
good nine. A man by the name of
Snyder, crack pitcher. recently moved
TO the city from Rockford, and is EN-
ployed at the cutlery works. Then there
is John Rosine who ranks second emily to
Sage as man behind the bat, and there
is also Tolliver. Rispen, Browner and
Oswald all good men, besides severalothers
who are willing and anxious to play, and
if the enthusiasm can be aroused, the
best men of the Nine Stars and Central
Cities could be combined in making up a
good team.
Moline has strong nine i'll the Brown
Stockings, and Davenport once seized
with the desire is capable of getting up
aud putting in the field fine club.
The purpose is to uniform and equip
the nine by subscription. If grounds
can be obtained on sufficiently reasonable
terms, and charge d small admission fee
enough to detray expenses only. If ii
proves impracticable to have the games
played in protected enclosure, then the
plan OF making them free and taking up
a collection will be resorted TO- A rcgu
lar schedule of games is to be nude out,
if the plan works successfully. and the
contest be for the championship OF the
three cities. The idea commends itself
to all lovers Of the national game

Sage is winning bonors in Des Moines

Here is something from the St. Louis
Globe Democrat about former Rock
Island player, one IN fact that did his
first professional work upon the diamond
field in Rock Island:
The management of the Cintnnsti
club gravely announced few days ago
that they were negotiating for pitcher
of world wide reputation. The tele gram
published in Fridays Globe Democrat
showed that the twirler referred To was
no other than Nat Hudson of the Browns

The Toll and Anxiety of Managing q
Hotel-Phases of Human Nature.

Hotel-Phases of Human Nature.
The modern hotel landlords are interesting
men. As Mr.. George lies says: "a hotel land
lord of the best type endeavois to entertain
his guests as a well bred and liberal house
holder entertains his" His business is to see
that his house shall operate in all its depart
ments automatically, without friction, noise
or over heard command He will not obtI1ide
himself on his guest and bore him by solicita-
ton of any kind, nor, on the other hand, per-
nit him to suffer neglect-always considering
the immense difference between catering to
from 200 to 500 strangers or two to five)
friends whose tastes are perfectly understood
Amid the toll and anxiety of managing a
hotel, landlord has au adv antage over men,
hers of any other class in the business com
munity. He sees human nature in all its
phases, and, without leaving his own tllresh-
Old, has all the varieties of mankind and wo-
mankind present their peculiarities of ma
tionality, sex and disposition before him, so
that what Others have to travel across CONT
nents to see he beholds i'll the ceaseless urong
which passes through bis house. The world
travels to him. He sees men and women of
genius in their hours of leisure, when they
are minded to enjoy themselves, and when in
many ways he can render services and impart
information of appreciated value. He sees
the weakness of the hero at home, where no
man is a hero. One world famous guest
proves to be drunkard, another never pays
the odd cents on his bill, another is so fussy
as to report the difference in temperature OF
a degree and half between the dining room
and the parlor.
Tales of sin and shame are told him by fugi-
tives, deceived husbands and wives, bereft
and heart broken parents. His house may, if
in the metropolis, be the scene where railroad
and manufacturing magnate consolidate
these monopolies, where balls, wedding
breakfasts and weddings fill the circling
hours, II he be a philosopher he fattens
with information; if a cynic, his pessimism
blackens by constant contact with fraud
and weakness; if he is a sharp business man,
he turns 10 fish all that comes 10 his net. Ii
he is a progressive man of modern spirit he
learns better and better the art of keeping a
